WatchOS 7.4 on AW3 - not enough space

I have AW3 GPS. Even after unpairing the watch from my phone, and setting it up from scratch, I cannot install WatchOS 7.4 - it just simply doesn't prompt me about the update as it usually did during the setup procedure. I am not restoring the watch from backup, I do not have any multimedia or apps there and I still have only 2GB of free space out of the required 3GBs.

Can anyone help me with this one?

Hi,

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, it did not work for me - and I have tried several times with unpairing and pairing watch again.

I was able to update my watch only after disabling Siri completely... It is nowhere mentioned as part of the workaround, and I don't know why disabling Siri freed ~1GB of space (is this even possible?).
